Anyone wanting to buy the club is looking at what ?

DEBT = £50M is it ?

STADIUM = £200m minimum.

TEAM = Anything from £20m to £50m

If they have to spend £150m to buy the club well it tells you why we are were we are.
 
Hard to see anyone fork out that amount of cash for the club with debt,stadium and investment in the team to follow aswell.

Mikewex this is the reason it is over-priced. Kenwright, Green etc are trying to make a profit on the money they have put in, but like I said sometimes investments don't work and you have to make a loss.
 
I'd expect this to include debt.

The fixed assets of the club plus the debt totals £100m on its own.

The fixed assets don't include the likes of Rodwell, Barkley, Osman, Hibbert and anyone who is on a second or subsequent contract.

But it doesn't work like that. They have an assets that in total broken up is worth at least that. Say in the morning the pressure on Kenwright forces him to come out and say he will accept £40m for the club as a whole. You will have people lining up to buy it, but not one of them will be thinking anything about "build stadium" or "invest in team". They will be looking at output vs value of assets. And if they strip the club bare, pay themselves a huge dividend, sell the carcass off for a dollar and feck back to the US/India/Australia (whatever, any non UK location), reckon they would care about any outrage?
 
This figure of £150 million Harris is spouting, is ****e, he's not involved in any of these negotiations and therefore won't get his nice little commission cheque.
In short, he's out the loop and making a nuisance of himself.
The club is worth nowhere near that,as we all know.
 
£1. That's what they should get to retreat from the club. One shiny English pound coin to allow others to pay off the debts they've run up and address the problem of the stadium that's been left to rot since they took control 12 years ago.

£150M for creating a disaster? Lol!
 
The sort of buyer who has both the finance and business experience satisfy our fans ambitions will not be sitting around waiting for a Premier League club to be put on the market for £1. Think about it.

A bargain basement price will attract a Venkys full stop.

Where as overpricing a Club with MASSIVE debts and a Stadium thats falling apart will attract? Yep, thats right, NOBODY.

Blackburn Trust sold their shares for £23M and passed £20M debt onto Venky's. They also (unlike Everton's present owners) have not stripped the club of its training facilities nor, presumably, saddled their club with the inability to increase commercial revenue because they sub-contracted out most of it, and haven't already spent two years of season ticket money in advance, or saddled their club with a securitization deal that cant be paid off until 2022 and which they pay £30M interest on.

Taking everything into consideration, if Kenwright left for a quid he'd have gotten off lightly.
